Draft at HOMES. Pours a deep ruby to magenta purple with a finger of pink foam that dissipates. Blackberry, wild berry focused nose with lots of skin and seed notes. Good carbonation on the palate, bone dry...with tart blackberry and marionberry that lingers. Great berry notes, but the lactose feels quite muted.

16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours very hazy deep ruby red/pink/purple color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky pink head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of huge juicy, lightly tart/tangy boysenberry, raspberry, blackberry, strawberry, blueberry, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, peach, plum, pear, apricot, red/green apple, currant, red grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of berries, fruity/fairly acidic yeast, lactose, and pale/wheat malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge juicy, lightly tart/tangy boysenberry, raspberry, blackberry, strawberry, blueberry, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, peach, plum, pear, apricot, red/green apple, currant, red grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, and spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy berries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, peach, plum, pear, apricot, red/green apple, currant, red grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light pepper/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of berries, fruity/fairly acidic yeast, lactose, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with a fantastic malt/tartness and tangy fruit balance; with zero cloying/puckering flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering tartness and tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready/grainy, and lightly acidic/tangy/tannic mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 6%. Overall this is a fantastic fruited milkshake sour! All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of berries, fruity/fairly acidic yeast, lactose, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish; amazingly soft feel, and not overly lactic. Amazing balance between juicy/jammy berries, Lacto complexity, lactose, and pale/wheat malts against acidity. Not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing kettle sour as expected.
